Announcements

Hello and welcome to the spring 2016 semester! This semester the reigns of this site have been passed on to the work studies in the lab. We figured we would start by introducing ourselves and what we do around here.

I’m Moira, but I usually go by Mojo.

I’m currently a Junior (class of 2017) and am concentrating in Graphic Design. I usually hang around the lab in-between classes but I work in the lab Monday-Thursday 3-5. I enjoy video games, photography and I am also the Secretary/ Treasurer of Com Club so most of my posts here will probably be about what happened this week at our meeting.

Feel free to say hello and introduce yourself if you see me. Oh and, you should totally follow me (and Com club) on our social media endeavors.

Looking for something fun, as well as (*gasp!*) educational to do during exam week? Join DMaC Lab manager and professor Steven Fox, as he takes a look at popular (and free!) game design software Unity 3D in this brand new DMaC LAB seminar. We’ll have Unity loaded on all the lab iMacs, and will be exploring the creation of a basic Pac-Man style arcade game using Unity’s 3D engine. As a special bonus, it should serve as a good intro to Javascript for those taking the web design class next semester. Space is limited so reserve an iMac today by messaging sfox@hilbert.edu Hope to see you there!!

Camera stuck in night vision mode and won’t listen to your cries of “Make it Stop!!”? Take control of the situation with these handy dandy manuals featuring a variety of equipment we have right here in the DMaC Lab!

Just a quick update on a seminar we’ll be having in the lab later on this month. The time of the semester’s first DMaC L!VE event has been changed from 6:00pm to 3:30pm. We hope that you will join us, as we plan on pulling out all the stops in an effort to inspire students both in and out of the department to take up the keyboard and get to designing! See you there!

We’re excited tonight to announce the official lab schedule for the Fall semester. Feel free to stop in any time to have one of our DMaC Lab Staff Members™ help you with equipment rental, lab software, or just to say hi!

September is WEB DESIGN month in the DMaC Lab, and to kick off our new DMaC Lab Seminars series we’re going to be featuring a number of talks and live tutorials straight from the world of HTML and CSS.

At 6:00pm, September 15th, the lab will be screening 3 talks featuring design principles and code tutorials straight from the TED archive. Stick around after to discuss the tips and tricks you’ve learned with other students as well as the DMaC lab staff!

Then, on Monday September 29th (6:00pm), stop on by for a special DMaC LIVE! event, where we’ll be giving a live demonstration of web design software found in the DMaC lab, and allowing hands on time with the code discussed!

Whether you’re new to the code game, or just looking to brush up on the basics, the DMaC Lab will be your home for Web Design this September!!

Hey folks, just a quick update on some goings on within the lab. Some of you may know that we’ve got big plans for the (formerly titled) audio room that we’re going to be talking about in the coming months. As of this posting however, know that it is currently open for business and available for use (making it officially Edit Booth #4). It has the complete Adobe Production Suite on it and is ready for your editing/Photoshoping/animating needs.

We’ll be announcing some important info about Edit #4 soon, so be sure to keep your eyes glued here!
